Although ‘American Idol’ contestant Crystal Bowersox admits she briefly considered quitting the show, she never thought host Ryan Seacrest would go public about her “moment of weakness,” the NY Post reports. Last week, TMZ reported that Bowersox contemplated leaving ‘Idol,’ but that Seacrest swooped in and saved the day. But after news broke, Bowersox sent a text message to Katelyn Epperly, a friend from the ‘Idol’ Top 24 tryouts, admitting she’d been “betrayed by Seacrest” and had never been seriously ready to quit. “She had a moment backstage and they made it into something it wasn’t … She’s still in the game,” Epperly said.

Victoria Beckham may have a glam image, but she says she carpools just like any other mom.

“I drop the kids kids off, go to the gym, come back from the gym and do some work,” the designer, 34, tells Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show.

She says her three sons — Brooklyn, 10, Romeo, 7, and Cruz, 4 — are “so different.

“I mean, you’ve got Brooklyn, who is a real boy. He’s turning into a teenager. It takes him quite some time to do his hair in the morning before he goes to school,” she says. “Then we got Romeo, who loves fashion. He likes to go out in a suit with a bowler hat… and he’s a real fashion lover.

“And then Cruz just wants to break dance every opportunity he gets,” adds Victoria of her youngest, who famously danced on stage during his mom’s Spice Girl show in New York City in February 2008.

Dad David is in Milan playing soccer until after this summer’s World Cup, but calls in to help his kids with homework.

“The other day, I said, ‘I’m really struggling with work here, I’ve got so much going on at the house.’ I sat down Brooklyn in front of the computer, and they Skyped for 20 minutes while he did his reading,” she tells Seacrest.

Victoria says she speaks to her husband “10, 15 times a day” and tries to travel to Milan to see him, “but my priority obviously are the kids because they’re so little. This is our home and this is where we’re going to stay.”

She also hits the treadmill every day.

“I run so quick after a double espresso, my trainers are on fire! They have sparks!” she says.

Seacrest — who worked with her for last week’s premiere of American Idol — says Victoria eats “perfectly… [she says], ‘I’m getting the steamed this, the steamed that.’”

The man accused of stalking E! TV personality Ryan Seacrest, Chidi Uzomah, has pleaded not guilty to one felony stalking charge and two misdemeanor charges of disobeying a court order, TMZ reports.

The judge also granted a protective order stating that Uzomah must remain 500 yards from Ryan at all times. Uzomah, an active member of the U.S. Army, is accused of stalking Ryan between Sept. 15 and Oct. 30. He was arrested at the E! building last week in possession of a knife and looking for Ryan.

In September, Uzomah pleaded guilty to three misdemeanors after he choked Ryan’s bodyguard outside of a hospital in Orange County.

He’s due back in court on November 16.

UPDATE 3:26 p.m.: E! confirms alleged Ryan Seacrest stalker is Chidi Uzomah, and that the armed man showed up at the offices just before 10 a.m. this morning. He was in possession nof a three-inch folding knife, but never got close to Ryan.

Uzomah’s red Pontiac Thunderbird remains parked outside the E! News studio and was found to contain a variety of telling (and random) objects: multiple maps of West Hollywood and Beverly Hills, a screwdriver, towels, clothes and a spare pair of shoes, water bottles, a receipt from Jack in the Box, Q-tips, rock crystals and a blue tarp.
TMZ reports a man has been arrested for allegedly stalking Ryan Seacrest inside the E! building.

Sources say tell TMZ it’s the same man who attacked Ryan’s security guard with a knife last month, Chidi Uzomah, outside an Orange County hospital.

TMZ cites another source inside the building who says the suspect had a knife with him today and is being detained right now by LAPD in the lobby of the E! building.

Uzomah reportedly went to the lobby and asked to see Ryan, but the guard there knew who he was and called the cops.

We’re told Uzomah went to the lobby and asked to see Seacrest. The guard was aware of Uzomah and E! called the LAPD.

Uzomah plead guilty last month in the O.C. hospital incident to three misdemeanors. The judge placed him on three years probation and ordered him to stay away from Ryan, who was reportedly in the building when Uzomah entered today.
